Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
February is finally here and along with it a new theme for the camera phone competition. And I've won again, I wouldn't have thought it could happen again. :)
For this month I've chosen black and white, I didn't want to come up with a theme that was too hard to do because for instance people in Australia don't have snow right now if you know what I mean. I wanted to do a theme that everyone could do but it could be really creative as well and not boring. So black and white it is. B&W allows for some nice shadows or gradients, it's great for capturing the light and the emotions as it is, no distracting colours in the background. As one photographer put it: B&W captures people's feelings, colour captures their clothes. Here are a few links and ideas. Oh and the photos in the first link are mine. :) Photos, tips1, tips2, examples, examples. The rules: Photos must be taken during this month Photos must be taken by the posting member Photos must be taken with a camera phone Users post only one photo per entry Users can change the entry only once Users must name the phone they used (so I could include it for voting and such) Last three days of this month are for voting Last month's competition. |

Congratulations on winning!
For B&W for most phones does that require post editing? I can't remember if N900 or N9 can take black and white pictures by the default camera app without post modification? |
Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
Yeah, I've got a black & white option on my Android's camera, but I can't find anything like that on my N900 (running the standard camera app). I think you'd have to do post-processing to achieve that...

If you aren't able to shoot B&W in-camera just grayscale it afterwards but please, don't change the contrast or brightness, don't create a mess at least.

In addition, the contest is 'Black and white' but doesn't explicitly specify it must be a greyscale image. Perhaps it's a panda . . . Or a black cat in a snowstorm . . . |
Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
Does it have to be black-grey-white, or would it be acceptable to have part of it black-grey-white, and another part of it full-colour?
Thank you. Best wishes. |
Re: Camera phone competition February 2015:"Black and white"
Oh, I'm sorry I've made a confusion. It's only greyscale.
See, I'm not good at giving tasks or themes. :) I've shot some photos today while I was walking my dog up on the hill close to my house and street. The sun was setting and it gave nice long shadows and opportunities, which I grabbed. Here is the album on Flickr. Because I don't want to spam this thread. I couldn't decide with which photo to enter the competition so I maybe make up my mind soon or just shoot better ones. |

Here is my entry for this month. Will be busy in coming weeks so I decide to submit an entry first. (At least I can amend once.)
This is the Round Church in Cambridge, one of the oldest buildings in town. Monochrome gives a feeling of time travelling, to the past. Taken with Panasonic CM1 today (2nd Feb). Original picture in high res. |
